Hearing this, Qi Ye was slightly stunned, and laughed helplessly: ”I'm sorry, Miss Bai, I was rude.

Just as Bai Luojin was about to retract his hand, he suddenly tightened his grip and tugged, falling into a warm embrace.

Before he could even react, the sky and earth spun, and Bai Luojin was lifted up by an arm that wrapped around his waist.

”Miss Bai, sorry for offending you.”

A warm and soft laughter resounded in his ears. It was like a wisp of spring wind, gently brushing against his earlobes, tickling and stirring.

He raised his eyes and met the smiling eyes of the man before him. Although he said he was sorry, the smile on his face did not contain the slightest hint of an apology.

The star-like eyes stared fixedly at her, as if they wanted to take her completely into their eyes. They were gentle and domineering. His warm breath unconsciously sprinkled onto her neck, and Bai Luojin unconsciously pursed his lips, feeling as though a light feather had brushed past his heart.

”Qi Ye, what are you doing?!” Bai Luojin frowned, and struggled unhappily, as she shouted out in anger and embarrassment.

”Your body is still too weak, you can't run around.”

Qi Ye lowered his head to glance at Bai Luojin's red cheeks, and lovingly curled his eyes. The smile on his face became even more obvious, and when he opened his mouth, he spoke gently, as if he was coaxing a disobedient child.

Carefully placing Bai Luojin on the bed, Qi Ye lovingly covered her with a blanket. Then, he moved his hand and caressed her head as if he was comforting a little kitten, and said: ”Be good and rest well.”

Feeling the warmth above her head, Bai Luojin squinted her eyes and coldly glared at Qi Ye. The last man who dared to hug her and touch her head was already beaten black and blue by her, so it was time for her to consider, and consider whether or not she should break the man's arm in front of her?!

Receiving Bai Luojin's cold killing intent, Qi Ye laughed helplessly, and immediately retracted his hand. He took the opportunity to grab the box on the bedside table, and with a ”Pa” sound, he opened it.

”You were in such a hurry earlier. You must be looking for this, right?”

Hearing this, Bai Luojin frowned slightly, and lowered his head along with Qi Ye's arm.

Bai Luojin immediately received it and checked the jade nervously. It was really dangerous, there were no scratches. Feeling the cool touch of his palm, the stone that was hanging over his heart finally dropped.

”When you fainted, you were holding this piece of jade in your hand. I thought it must be very important to you. Just in case you accidentally touched it, I told them to put it in the box and keep it for safekeeping.”

Qi Ye caringly explained, his gentle voice sounding right above Bai Luojin's head.

Bai Luojin heaved a sigh of relief, held onto the jade, and once again raised his head to meet those warm and beautiful eyes. His clear and cold voice carried a sense of awkwardness: ”Thank you.”

”You're welcome.” Qi Ye's eyes curved slightly, as if they were filled with spring water. With a slight breeze, they rippled gently.

”I've already informed Pei Chen. You can stay here to have a good rest. When you're fully recovered, I'll send you back home.”

”Yes.” Bai Luojin replied as she lowered her eyes. Although she did not have any expression on her face, she harrumphed in her heart: That bastard Yin Yuchen might really want her to return so that he can kiss me!
